Why is the mRNA not equal in length to the DNA it was transcribed from? 1) the mRNA was longer because it has a Poly A tail 2) T

he mRNA was longer because it contains only introns 3) The DNA was shorter because it does not have the Methylated cap 4) The mRNA was shorter because of Intron splicing

Answer:

4) The mRNA was shorter because of Intron splicing

Explanation:

In eukaryotic cells, the process of gene transcription uses a fragment of DNA as template in order to synthesize a complementary single-stranded RNA molecule known as primary messenger RNA transcript or 'pre-mRNA', which is then processed to yield a mature messenger RNA (mRNA). This mature mRNA is finally used as template to synthesize a polypeptide chain (i.e., a protein) by the process of translation. RNA splicing refers to the processing mechanism by which a pre-mRNA is transformed into a mature mRNA. During RNA splicing, non-coding regions of the pre-mRNA called 'introns' are removed, whereas the remaining coding regions called 'exons' are joined toghether to form a mature mRNA. In consequence, RNA splicing generates an mRNA that is shorter than the originally transcribed gene sequence.

maw [93]

Since, the options are not given the question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows:

Unbeknownst to her or her care team, a 51-year-old woman's breast cancer has an etiology rooted in the fact that tumor suppressor genes are present but have been silenced. Consequently, she has not synthesized normal cancer-suppressing proteins and neoplasia has resulted. What process has accounted for the woman's cancer?

A. Chromosomal translocation

B. The “two-hit” hypothesis of carcinogenesi s

C. Epigenetic mechanisms

D. A DNA repair defect

Answer:  C. Epigenetic mechanisms

Explanation:

In cancer epigenetics the modification of the DNA of the cancer cells occur which will not cause the change in the nucleotide sequence rather it will affect the way, through which the genetic code is being expressed in the body. In cancer different type of epigenetic mechanisms can result which may cause silencing of the tumor suppressor genes, modification of the histone, dysregulation of proteins of DNA, alteration of the methylation pattern of DNA.

According to the given situation, is an example of the epigenetic mechanism of cancer. This is because the tumor suppressor genes of cancer cells are present but these are silenced, that is they are non-functional as a result of this the cancer-suppressing proteins will not be synthesized in the body. This entire condition will be contributing to the neoplasia.
